Purple Sweet Potato Bun

Another of my leftover baking task.....more sweet potato recipes coming to your way....HA ! Oh well, this recipe is actually inspired by the potato buns where it is often seen at the bread shop. Since I have some mashed sweet potato store up in the fridge, again just can't resist to experiment it my own. Life is too short to wait any longer ! It is true that life is too short...just too short ! Do you know that human only has roughly about 29,000 days living in this world, if you're still alive by 80 years old ! But yet many live lesser than that. Whateverso, we have to face the fact that things may change along the way but not our spirit & soul. Human is encourage to stay positive and happy minded to keep the spirit alive And bread making possible is one of the cure to generate happiness to our mind set and enjoy eating them is just even merrier. haha..... (DO I know what I'm talking about here?) haha.... Or maybe this is just an excuse for baker like me. LOL. But it is true that life is just too short.

Just a 150gm of mashed purple sweet potato to give the buns the magic colour that I've been looking forward to.

Ingredients for Sweet Potato Bun dough :
350gm  bread flour / high protein flour
2-1/2 TB  sugar
1-3/4 tspn  yeast
1/2 tspn  salt
150gm   mashed purple sweet potato
100ml  warm milk
1 egg, do not beat
70gm  cold butter, chopped

* 1 beatened egg yolk for glazing
*1 cup  grated cheddar cheese & 1/2 cup  sugar  for topping

Method :
(1) mix together mashed sweet potato with milk, stir well.
(2) combine flour, sugar, yeast and salt into a big mixing bowl and mix well.
(3) stir in milk mixture and egg to form a soft dough, then add in butter and continue kneading the dough for another 3 minutes.
(4) leave dough to rest for an hour or till double in size.
(5) once ready, punch dough to release extra air then again knead till smooth.
(6) divide dough into 16 portions (about 50gm each), let them rest on the working table for 5 minutes.
(7) shape each into a ball then place it to a 9" greased pan, again let to rest for 45 minutes. (depends on room temperature, warmer room temperature performs better or you may let them sit in the oven and place in a cup of warm water on the bottom rack)
